When a bunch of flowers arrive for her at work with no card, Rachel assumes Jake must’ve sent them. However, she soon discovers that they are from her ex-boyfriend, meth addict Daniel. Now clean and sober, he has been rehired by CBM Advertising to produce a TV ad for men’s cologne Rampant using Jake as the star. But when Jake arrives late on the ad shoot, having brought his brother Alex along, the client complaints to Daniel. Daniel agrees to sort it out and speaks down to Alex. Unfortunately, Jake overhears and quits not only the shoot but the whole campaign. A row breaks out, and Jake ends up hitting Daniel in front of the whole crew. Deeply embarrassed and shocked, Rachel sides with Daniel. As the pair work late into the night to salvage footage from the day’s shoot, a stunned Rachel finds herself feeling attracted to Daniel. Will it spell the end for her and Jake? Meanwhile, Sammy has just moved back into the Rafter house. She and Nathan are back on track – in every way except physical intimacy. As the Rafters go away for a few days to give the couple some alone time together, Chel takes Nathan aside and gives him some capsules of medical marijuana, believing it will help he and Sammy relax. Dave is furious when he finds out. Is this the final straw for the newfound mother and son?

Synopsis

Packed to the Rafters is an Australian family-oriented television series which premiered on the Seven Network on Tuesday 26 August 2008 at 8:30 pm. The show has continued on Tuesdays in this timeslot for its entire run. The drama series features a mix of lighthearted comedy woven through the plot. It revolves around the Rafter family facing work pressures and life issues, whilst also tackling serious social issues. The Logie award winning series was the highest rating to screen on the Seven Network in 2008, and the show has consistently been among the top 5 shows of the year throughout its run in Australia. It was announced in TV Week that the sixth season of Packed to the Rafters would be the last, with Hugh Sheridan stating: "It's emotional letting go of Rafters – for all of us. It was such an amazing chapter in Aussie TV. I'm really proud we all came back together to send it off." The two-hour series finale of Rafters aired on 2 July 2013, which saw the return of Hugh Sheridan, Jessica Marais, Ryan Corr, Jessica McNamee and James Stewart. Rebecca Gibney said, "The cast, writers and producers have always said that we wanted to keep Rafters as one of the most-watched shows on TV. If we ever felt like we were losing too many cast members, we needed to end it on a high. We can say season six winds up an aspect of the Rafter family and there is a sense of finality to it."
